Letters Patent No. 109,396, dated November 22', 1870.

MPRovi-:MENT iN HEA'rNG-s'rovss.

The Schedule referred to ini-these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom it inay concern:

Be it known that I, ANDREW DJCKEY, of Albany,

in the county of Albany and vState of New Yorkp parts in the several figures.

This invention is confined to that class of stoves known vas parlor-heaters, wherein a'fire-pot with close sides is suspended beneath a fuel-supply i'cservoir, and is surrounded by a space for the circulation of air, and wherein ill'uninatiu g windows areused, and also au nnnular register is applied on top of thefiange of said fire-pot.

The nature of my invention consists in the introduction of air into the annular chamber surrounding .the suspended 4fire-pot, fron a point which is above the ash-pitdoors, and near the upper edge of the said; tire-pot; said air being caused to impinge directly against the' louter side of the iire-pot, to circulate entirely around the same, and to enter it at its lower end, aswill be hereinafter explained.

The following description of my invention will-enable otlers skilled in the art -to understand and carry it into effect.

In the accompanying drawing- A represents the ash-pit section of the stove, upon which is the illuminating sectionB, and upon this latter'i's the top cylindrical section G. 3 Within the ash-pit Vsection is suspended the fire-pot E, surrounding Which is 'a space, g, for the circulation of air. f i v [The 'iire-pot hasclosed sides, so that all the air which enters it must Dass' in through its grated bottom. .i

Beneath the fire-pot the base of the stove is hollow,

' and,`by means of flues, communicates with the firechamberabove the fire-pot, and also with an escapepipe at the back of the stove.

Those flues are 'not-'shown in the drawing, as theyv are old and well known .in this class 'of stoves, and

form no part of my invention.

' 0`n top of the flange of the fire-pot an annular perforated register, of, is applied, which, with loles through the said fla'nge, is used for regulating the draught by admitting more or less air from the anuular space g into l the coinbustion-chamber above the iucandescent fuel ther'ein;

Above the fire-pot, and suspended in the combustion-chanher, is the lower downwardly-tapering portion Dof the fuel-supply magazine.

Through the front side of the ash-pit section A an opening is made for a'ording access to the ashpit, which opening is provided with tightly-fitting Above these doors, and just below .the flange surrounding the upper end of the fire-pot E, perforations b b are made through the'ash-pit wall, and provided with adamper-slide, c, foi' admitting more or less air through these perforations.

It will be seen from the above description that the air which enters the stove to supply the combust-iou passes 'through pcrforatio'ns'b b near the top of the tire-pot, which, having close sides, will compel the air, after circulating 'around in space g,rto descend into the ash-pit, and then rise through the grate, I therei by supply the iire with highly-heated air, and obtain complete 'combustiom with llittle or no refuse coal or slag. I also protect the close sides ofi thcfire-pot from rapidly burning out by keeping air in contact with its sides i I am aware that heaters differing in their general construction and arrangementl of parts from the one herein described, have been provided with open or grated suspended fire-pots, with air-inlets .through their ash-pits, arranged near the points of suspension of said pots, and I do -not claim such as my invention.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- 1. lThe arrangement-ot' the air-inlets -b i) as near as' possible to the upper edge of the ash-pit section,

above doors 'J J, inV combination witha closed-sidedi fire-pot, which is suspended within the ash-pit, and surrounded by a space, g, substantially as described.

2. The air-iulets b b, the annular air-circulating space g, the suspended fire-pot E, and the register- Witnesses: i
